Guru, have you received my two e-mails about my map? I sent it again because you said to. You seem to have been away from the community for a bit. Same with Nimlot, I had e-mailed him for Bconstructor...no reply.

- Majin Revan

Majin , which map? I get fragment emails from about 25 people a day saying , this is my map,or I told you about this , here it is? with a file attached, then no details , then in a week i get an email with no files and details for 1-4 maps all at once. If you send a zip/rar and it has the details as posted in the "submit your files topic", it will be live within a few hours in most cases. If 7 emails are sent with portions of maps that need to be re-assemble/encrytped the email server will drop them as spam. 1 file or a link to a working download with all your details = instant post all others "infortunatly" become lost in the email huddle.

guru,
will this mappack include beta maps or will it be final versions only?
I just wonder because the TAW mappack released a month ago is somewhat outdated after a short time because it included bety versions.

If you ask me I would like to have final versions only.
Just my 2 cents.

Rends

PS: Maybe a final version only pack will force some guys to finish their work so their maps could make it into the next pack. If you have a close look at the Battlefront map list you will find a lot maps released in beta stage a long time ago and it doesn´t seem that the modders will ever go on finishing them.

agreed, eddie made a very nice review of the final maps several will be added to the mappack2. no betas in this release. Was trying to maybe release mapack2 with the new Bconstructor (updated with new fixed texture abilities) but I think Ill go ahead and put it out first, then let nimlot do the bconstructor stuff.

Final Mappack 2 & 3 selection list and their overall map ratings :
No beta will appear on any of the mappack releases , if your map isnt listed - its in beta or was included on another mapack or was not ready for official release.



Chain Isle "chainisle" beta, will appear in mappack4

Will they be in .exe format?

zip for smallest file size. Unless you can point out a better compression tool that creates .exe. that would be nice as well.

I dont know of any programs that make an .exe that is compressed a lot. sry

Hey Guru! Are you adding the jawa graveyard map or scrim map? I'm a little embarassed to have the scrim map out there to be quite honest. I'm assuming it's the TAW Race (Jawa Graveyard) that will be included, not the scrim map??

Just curious...

do you know when the map pack will be avaible to the public because i am not sure if i should download new maps because they will be in the map pack but i am not sure when it will be out. does anyone have a clue?!?

ya its the 23rd

hey does anyone know which servers will have any of these ones on?

Great work Guru, and all the modders responsible. Thanks for making this game what it is today..........

thank you Guru and thank you everybody!!
its good to see the mappaks out.
i hope to have my map(s) out by mappak 4

-a suggestion though: maybe you should set a date when the next mappak should come out, like in 3 weeks or 1 month or something, and it would give modders like a goal to work toward. and if they can't get it out in that mappak, they can just get it out in the next one! i think we waited alil long to release this mappak, which actually ended up being 2 cause there were so many maps! (but i do understand we were waiting on some ppl and trying to accomodate as many as we could) anyhow, that's my 2 cents-

May the Force be with you dudes!

Some people indeed needed more time to go back and edit maps ,since there was the sound update for the tools. I'd say as often as 10 (well put together) maps come out which seems to be about every 3 weeks we can release another mappack. I want to get mappack4 with chain isle from fred and some nice stuff we've been trying to put together may also make it onto the pack. thanks for sharing

"Sexy Map"? It's not in there...

My fears about the Map Pack came true. My Scrim map was placed in pack 3 instead of the Jawa Graveyard map. Hopefully it's in Pack 4, I guess...but I'm a little embarrassed that the scrim map is included as I could have worked on it more if you wanted to use it. I'm not sure if there was a mix up or what happened there. Ah well - hopefully the TAW Race (Jawa Graveyard) will be in the next one.

Other than that - we're so glad that it's been released, this will hopefully get some servers to include these maps on a daily basis.

Cheers

pinx, I sent you an email, eddie and I went through everything on all the 50+ maps out there and based on gameplay etc... scrim was selected, the only reason the race isnt added is we're trying to make a race mappack with all the run around on vehicles maps. Alot of us think scrim is a fun map so never fear
